Summary:
The House Rules and Manual, officially titled Constitution, Jefferson\'s Manual and Rules of\r the House of Representatives, contains the fundamental source material describing\r procedures in the House of Representatives. Included are the Constitution of the United\r States, selected provisions of Jefferson\'s Manual, rules of the House, provisions of law and\r resolutions enacted or adopted under the rule-making authority of the House, and pertinent\r decisions of the Speaker and chairmen of the Committee of the Whole interpreting the rules and\r procedural authority used in the House, often referred to as parliamentarian\'s notes or\r annotations.\r Printed as a "House Document," the Manual is usually authorized by House resolution at the end\r of a Congress for printing at the beginning of the following Congress. As such, the House\r document number reflects the Congress that authorized the printing although the cover page\r identifies the applicable Congress for the contents (112-161 is the Manual for the 113th Congress).
